We think if mothers were heeded oftener, there would be more good men in the world than there are at present. I have generally noticed that infidelity and misanthropy have an affinity for each other, and are often combined in the same heart. But how is man to avoid misanthropy No man ever became a misanthropist under the smiles of an affectionate wife, and surrounded by a family of ruddy children.

Her engines lie snug in the bottom of the vessel, out of reach of any enemy's shot, and do not at all interfere with the use of the sails, but can, at any time, be made auxiliary thereto.
